Perhaps I have misinterpreted (in that case, sorry for the noise).

But: Why 'alternatives'?

On my Kubuntu-8.0.4.1, I have gcc (i.e 4.2.3), gcc-4.1 and gcc-3.4.

AND NOT in alternative!

Why, in Cygwin, we can't have gcc.exe (i.e 4.3.2) and gcc-3.4.exe, etc...

For the sake of completeness, with your gcc-4-4.3.2 I have built some
applications:

Emacs-cvs (C)
Cernlib (<= F77)
ROOT (C++)
TexLive (C++)
gfortran-4.3.3-snapshot (C)
...

Thanks,
    Angelo.
